Postdoctoral research fellowship

This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $170,000 supports a Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Peter Morfe from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026. The fellowship project is titled "Degenerate, Anisotropic Elliptic and Parabolic Partial Differential Equations" and will be conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Germany under the mentorship of Felix Otto.

The fellowship directly supports the research and training of Peter Morfe in mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, as part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to promote progress in mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major issues.

Abstract

This award is made as part of the FY 2022 mathematical sciences postdoctoral research fellowships program. Each of the fellowships supports a research and training project at a host institution in the mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The title of the project for this fellowship to peter morfe is degenerate, anisotropic elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. The host institution for the fellowship is max planck institute for mathematics (germany), and the sponsoring scientist is felix otto. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
